Role of a sketchook

 A sketchbook is like a diary for an artist, a safe place, an important essential, a place where you can just let out all your art without any fear of being judged, without any worries. Any person who wants to improve their drawing skills should have a sketchbook because it records your ideas, thoughts, and experimentation and helps you build your skills with every moment. You will see that the quality of your sketchbooks will be better and better, and what at first was dull will become a definitive work of art for itself. In a sketchbook, you can do anything you want, although some artists prefer to have sketchbooks based on themes. For example, you could have a sketchbook only in human anatomy, and another just a “test sketchbook” where you try any kind of ideas that come to your mind. And it doesn't have to be only drawings, you can write some ideas too, your thoughts, all this is valuable when years pass and you can have a better perspective of how your art has evolved. What can you draw? That is up to you, but I know sometimes it's hard to just start drawing. And these trivial things often end up taking more time than they are supposed to. Luckily, there are websites and books where you can get some ideas on what you can draw in your sketchbook. About techniques, don't hold back. This is personally what I like most about sketchbooks. Since they are extremely personal and not meant for the public to view, you can experiment as much as you like. That applies to style, medium, and composition. This way you can truly discover what can be done to make your art better. Just going wild would be better advice. So get yourself a sketchbook and consider it as a beginning of a journey, just imagine all the things you will learn on your way, through a road full of surprises. Let freedom and creativity be on your sketchbook, you don't know what you're capable of doing until you do it, So just try to draw and I am sure you will have a lot of fun!
